Lot 755
1st-4th century AD. A rectangular thin sheet, one side showing six lines of cursive script; small piercing at one corner. 17.83 grams, 53 x 60mm (2 x 2 1/2"). Fine condition. Rare. [No Reserve] Property of a London gentleman; acquired in the 1980s. See Gager, J. Curse tablets and Binding Spells from the Ancient World, Oxford, 1999. Curse tablets, known in Latin as defixionis, are small sheets of lead, inscribed with messages from individuals seeking to make gods and spirits act on their behalf and influence the behaviour of others against their will. The motives are usually malign and their expression violent, for example to wreck an opponent’s chariot in the circus, to compel a person to submit to sex or to take revenge on a thief. Letters and lines written back to front, magical gibberish and arcane words and symbols often lend the texts additional power to persuade. These bound tablets were usually placed beneath the ground, either buried in graves or tombs, thrown into wells or pools, sequestered in underground sanctuaries, or nailed to the walls of temples. The deities addressed on them are mostly associated with the underworld, such as Persephone, Hades or Hecate, as well as deities of revenge such as the Erinyes or the Furies. They are found across the Graeco-Roman world with over a thousand examples being known and with the greatest concentration of finds being in Greece. South West Britain has also produced a large quantity of them with the sacred spring at the temple of Sulis Minerva in Bath being a notable source , and the temple of Mercury at Uley producing over eighty examples. In the Graeco-Roman world all members of society, regardless of economic or class status, used such magic, as well as protect themselves from its effects by the use of amulets and rings bearing protective intaglios and inscriptions.
Lot 278
1st century BC-1st century AD. A penannular torc formed from three round-section silver rods, terminals formed as addorsed swan-heads. 160 grams, 19.5cm (8"). Very fine condition. From a private UK collection; formerly in a Munich collection formed in the 1970s. Supplied with a positive X-Ray Fluorescence metal analysis certificate. The torc was one of the most defining pieces of Celtic jewellery and was indicative of high status when worn by individuals. They are also frequently depicted around the necks of Celtic divinities. For the Celtic people the torc possibly held intrinsic magical and religious significance. Classical writers mention the Celts wearing torcs and Dio Cassius writes that the Icenian queen Boudicca always wore a torc of twisted gold. Torcs have been found in votive hoards, such as those from Snettisham in Norfolk, whilst others have been found buried with individuals who have been recognised as Celtic royalty, such as the prince buried at Hochdorf, Germany, and the princess from Vix, Burgundy in France. There are many depictions of humans and gods wearing torcs, such as the famous Roman marble statue of the Dying Gaul, as well as the Gundestrup Cauldron from Denmark which depicts as series of Celtic gods, each wearing a torc. The swan was an important animal in Celtic religion and is seen in the company of the three mother goddesses on a sculpture from Alesia in Burgundy. It also frequently appears in Irish literary sources as a supernatural creature associated with powerful women who shape-change to gain access to the world of the gods through the use of magic.
Lot 1801
8th-12th century AD. A silver Elfshot amulet with filigree cap decorated with rows of triangles securing a Neolithic flint arrowhead; suspension ring above. 3.89 grams, 36mm (1 3/4"). Property of a professional collector; acquired before 1990. See Meaney Audrey L. Anglo Saxon Amulets and Curing Stones, British Archaeological Reports, British Series 96, 1981, p.210-212; Merrifield R. The Archaeology of Ritual and Magic, Batsford, 1987, p.16. Across Europe it was a commonly held belief in folklore that flint arrowheads were ascribed to the elves and fairies. It was believed that the fairies made the arrowheads and shot them at humans and livestock causing inexplicable diseases and illness. Finding a flint arrowhead was believed to be a sure means to recovery and they were often worn around the neck as an amulet to protect the owner from further attack. Other cures involved soaking the arrowhead in water and giving the patient the water to drink. They were also hung over stables and barns to protect the animals inside. Fine condition.
